Resumen
GRILLO, Biagio. Liminality of a child’s anti-war view: Cartucho, Il sentiero dei nidi di ragno y Cerezas. Connotas. Rev. crit. teór. lit. [online]. 2021, n.23, pp.52-77. Epub 16-Dic-2021. ISSN 2448-6019. https://doi.org/10.36798/critlit.v0i23.365.
The beginning and the end of a novel can be strategic verges for the discursive construction within the narration, especially when the referent of the speech is a problematic event such as a civil war. On one hand, as Italo Calvino points out, the extremes of a text are key elements because they allow us to trace ─from the authorial position─ an important reflective potential beyond its eminently narrative and literary level. On the other hand, Frank Kermode identifies in its ending, the final the meaning that determines the temporality of the narrative (and consequently its discursive register). The objective of this article is to highlight the relevance of the discursive construction in relations of these verges. The article proposes a comparative analysis of the critical and humanist discourse that the children’s gaze constructs in three civil war novels: Cartucho (1931) by Nellie Campobello, Il sentiero dei nidi di ragno (1947) by Italo Calvino and Cerezas (2008) by Aurora Correa.
